Best air fryer deals for Black Friday 2022: Top Ninja, Instant Pot and Tefal offers

Some folks say we’re living in the digital age or the Smart age, but here at ES Best, we’d argue that within this era is another notable slice to time, defined by the air fryer.

The convenient kitchen gadget have been enjoying a moment for the last few years, but demand has really ramped up against the cost of living crisis. In fact fresh research from Samsung has found that four in 10 UK adults are using air fryers as a healthier hack to cooking fried treats at home - think chips, steak, cookies and doughnuts.

Aside from the obvious health benefits of cooking with a fraction of the oil, these machines are cheaper to run than a conventional oven and cook food in less time, making it an economical choice if you’re looking for ways to bring down your household bills or if you live in a small household.

In fact, according to moneysavingexpert.com, air fryers can cost only 34p per hour to run against an average of 68p for a conventional oven, with one forum user claiming to “have cut my electric use by a third since getting my Ninja Multi Cooker”, well regarded as one of the best on the market.

Throughout 2022, big brands have launched new models while canny shoppers waited patiently for sales to pounce on their air fryer of choice. With the mother of all salesnow underway, Black Friday is the best time to make your move.

What is Black Friday?

This annual shopping event is the ultimate time to nab those products on your shopping list, from TVs, tech and mattresses to air fryers. An American-born event, it started the day after Thanksgiving as families took advantage of seasonal sales. Retailers extended the discount bonanza across the Atlantic and it’s now a fixture for many bargain-hunting Brits on a mission to make their budget go further.

While it may have started off as a one-day affair, it’s not unusual to see offers flooding in from the start of the month, spiking on Black Friday and finishing on Cyber Monday.

When is Black Friday? When is Cyber Monday?

This year Black Friday is on November 25, with Cyber Monday taking place after a weekend of dizzying markdowns on November 28.

Keep up to date with the best Black Friday deals

If you’ve been waiting for Black Friday weekend to bag everything on your mental shopping list, well done. Your patience is about to pay off, because 2022 is set to see the UK’s biggest Black Friday sales yet - and there’s no better place than ES Best to hear about the hottest deals.
